Conclusion:

   As we see here, not only is the Zalman 7000B-Cu LED pleasing to the eyes, but it also does a great job of releasing the heat. Having a ton of slim copper fins really does a great job with little effort. You can see and feel the quality of this unit immediately. It's no mistake that Zalman is one of the leading cooling manufacturers in the market today. They do their research and apparently spare little expense putting out the best products.

   It's also very quiet compared to other beasts on the market. With rated dB levels between 18dB and 27dB (depending on mode), it's whisper quiet.

   Another thing I noticed while sitting very close to the cooler while it was running is the way it blows cool air all over the surrounding circuitry of the motherboard. I had it setup in the Tech Station sitting right next to me and I could feel the breeze of the Zalman whisking over my hands on the keyboard. Because it sits flat in the Tech station, the Zalman was level to my desk and it just washed cool air over the MB and onto the desk. It cools very well to say the least and with very little noise.

   I award the Zalman 7000B-Cu LED our Editors Choice Award and highly recommend this product to anyone with a Socket 478 / 754 / 939 or 940.
